The title for this PowerPoint presentation was based on the remit chosen by the National University of SingaporeMBAStudyGroup a month before they visited my office in Yangon on 24th September2013. As I am an alumnus of NUS the business school contacted me a month before their visit to Yangon.
I originally wanted to put the presentation on Slideshare -- however when I looked at the presentation 60% of the information are in the speaker's note and if you view the presentation as a slideshow alone it does not really make sense. As many people are now using smart phone and tablet to surf the net I decided to spend a few days to put the PowerPoint presentation as a YouTube video with proper voice over and subtitle so you can view it from any platform without having to read the speaker's note simultaneously.
The video is divided into 2 parts:
Part 1: http://youtu.be/pCvYiQYDHcE
1. Economic history of Myanmar -- how Myanmar ended up where they are, as one of the poorest country in Asia despite its rich natural resources.
2. A simple story of why it is more profitable to invest in Myanmar than in Singapore. Caveat: You need to have strong stomach for risk if you want to invest in an emerging market like Myanmar.
3. As an entrepreneur:
a. Is inefficiency good or bad?
b. Is the continuing US financial sanction good or bad?
Part 2: http://youtu.be/bLCMJ8Y6IhA
4. What are the opportunities by industry in Myanmar?
5. Is your organization suffering from Giganitis?
6. Why emerging markets favour entrepreneurs.
7. Low entry barrier for entrepreneur in Myanmar versus China and India
8. Understand the role of the Central and State government.
9. What is the role of the JV Partner in Myanmar.
10. The importance of training in creating the right culture in you company.
11. How to operate in a cash based society like Myanmar.
12. Should you wait for after the 2015 election before entering the Myanmar market?

Save for swift action from the police and the Kenya Wildlife Services officers, many meat lovers at the famous Burma market in Nairobi may have consumed giraffe meat thinking it was their regular delicacy of beef. 400 kilograms of the giraffe meat were intercepted just as they were about to be offloaded at the famous meat haunt. And as Andrew Ochieng reports, if the meat had made its way to the market, there was little chance that anybody could have discovered the difference.

Trading Hair: Burma's booming business

The hair trading business in Rangoon is quickly developing. Many buyers and exporters are earning a steady profit. Often women cut their hair to support their families. But increasingly, hair is being donated and the money is used to build bridges, roads or fund social activities for local people.
The hair is exported to China, India and Korea to be made into wigs or extensions.

How to Find a River Jade in Burma by Jade The Gambler’s Stone

How to Find a River Jade in Burma by Jade The Gambler’s Stone

Credit to : http://www.swpictures.co.uk/catalogue/jade-the-gamblers-stone/
This beautifully made documentary follows the path of the ancient jade road from the legal & illegal mines in northern Burma to an ordinary jade dealer’s shop in Hong Hong, giving unprecedented access to the smuggling routes and stone-age mines of Burma. Perhaps more than any other business, the jade trade has always been cloaked in mystery, similar to the opaque-brown skin that hides a jadeite’s rich green interior. We are given a glimpse of this fascinating business, where entire fortunes are gambled on a single boulder and where human lives are sometimes at stake. When the boulders are cut open in Hong Kong, the moment of truth finally arrives. If the quality is good, the men are instant millionaires. If the quality is poor, not only their dreams, but also their lives are shattered.

Burma's emerging new rich

The Asia Development Bank estimates that Burma's income per capita could increase six fold by 2030.
And another report from a wealth intelligence firm predicts that the country's economic growth will outpace that of all other nations.
Banyol Kong Janoi takes a look at the country's emerging new rich in the business capital, Rangon.

Inside Myanmar's Soaring Heroin Trade

Poppyland (2016): The heroin trade has long fuelled Myanmar's civil war. For some, opium provides a roaring illicit income; for others, a modest farming job. But even with the war slowing down, the drug trade shows no sign of abating in Myanmar.

"If I didn't do this work, I would have no other source of income", explains a poppy farmer in a remote village. Myanmar's opium cultivation is now the second largest in the world after Afghanistan, with an abundant local trade. “Most of our village want to make the switch to farming coffee", says Panu, one of the first adopters of a UN backed coffee program.

Opium money has helped bankroll six decades of civil war in Myanmar. As the country now transitions towards a more peaceful future, its opium trade continues apace and shows little sign of slowing down.
"If I didn't do this work, I would have no other source of income and my family would go hungry", explains Nang Hkam Hrseh, a poppy farmer in a remote village in rural Myanmar. It's in places like this, far away from the prying eyes of tourists, that the vast majority of Myanmar's opium is grown, a yield which is now the second largest in the world after Afghanistan. Most of the heroin produced in Myanmar is exported through China to the rest of the world. But the local trade is also abundant, and has reached epidemic-sized proportions in some areas. "My sons were washed away on a tide of heroin", laments 68-year-old Daw Li. However, some villages are looking for ways to fight back against opium dependency. "I don't want my family to be involved in this business any more", asserts 67-year-old Panu, a resident of the isolated Pang Lyam village. Many of the villagers here have signed on to the UN’s crop replacement program and are making the switch from opium to coffee. With the end of military rule and the election of a new democratic government, there is renewed hope that the opium trade may be on the way out.

The title for this PowerPoint presentation was based on the remit chosen by the National University of SingaporeMBAStudyGroup a month before they visited my office in Yangon on 24th September2013. As I am an alumnus of NUS the business school contacted me a month before their visit to Yangon.
I originally wanted to put the presentation on Slideshare -- however when I looked at the presentation 60% of the information are in the speaker's note and if you view the presentation as a slideshow alone it does not really make sense. As many people are now using smart phone and tablet to surf the net I decided to spend a few days to put the PowerPoint presentation as a YouTube video with proper voice over and subtitle so you can view it from any platform without having to read the speaker's note simultaneously.
The video is divided into 2 parts:
Part 1: http://youtu.be/pCvYiQYDHcE
1. Economic history of Myanmar -- how Myanmar ended up where they are, as one of the poorest country in Asia despite its rich natural resources.
2. A simple story of why it is more profitable to invest in Myanmar than in Singapore. Caveat: You need to have strong stomach for risk if you want to invest in an emerging market like Myanmar.
3. As an entrepreneur:
a. Is inefficiency good or bad?
b. Is the continuing US financial sanction good or bad?
Part 2: http://youtu.be/bLCMJ8Y6IhA
4. What are the opportunities by industry in Myanmar?
5. Is your organization suffering from Giganitis?
6. Why emerging markets favour entrepreneurs.
7. Low entry barrier for entrepreneur in Myanmar versus China and India
8. Understand the role of the Central and State government.
9. What is the role of the JV Partner in Myanmar.
10. The importance of training in creating the right culture in you company.
11. How to operate in a cash based society like Myanmar.
12. Should you wait for after the 2015 election before entering the Myanmar market?

What are “ah-nar-dare” and “ya-bar-dare”? Find out in this incredibly funny and insightful talk where investor Thura Ko Ko shares his observations on Myanmar’s business culture as the country opens up from five decades of isolation. Thura left his home country as a boy, growing up in the UK and pursuing a global career as an investment banker. Now back to his native land, his observations as an insider-outsider are poignant and informative, drawing laughter and applause from the delighted audience.
Thura Ko Ko is the managing director of YGACapital, a Myanmar advisory company focused on identifying and investing in attractive growth opportunities in Myanmar.
Prior to returning to Myanmar in 2010, Mr. Ko worked for over 12 years in global investment banking and private equity firms covering Asia out of Hong Kong. He was a Vice President at ProvidenceEquity, and previously worked for Goldman Sachs and N.M. Rothshchild.
In Myanmar, he is a member of the board of directors for ApolloTowers Myanmar Limited, a telecom tower operator; Pacific StarFinance Limited, a micro-finance company; and Myanmar Distillery Company Limited, a leading local beverage company.
Mr. Ko holds a B.Sc. in Economics from the London School of Economics, University of London and was elected as a Young Global Leader for the World Economic Forum in2013.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Save for swift action from the police and the Kenya Wildlife Services officers, many meat lovers at the famous Burma market in Nairobi may have consumed giraffe meat thinking it was their regular delicacy of beef. 400 kilograms of the giraffe meat were intercepted just as they were about to be offloaded at the famous meat haunt. And as Andrew Ochieng reports, if the meat had made its way to the market, there was little chance that anybody could have discovered the difference.

The hair trading business in Rangoon is quickly developing. Many buyers and exporters are earning a steady profit. Often women cut their hair to support their families. But increasingly, hair is being donated and the money is used to build bridges, roads or fund social activities for local people.
The hair is exported to China, India and Korea to be made into wigs or extensions.

This beautifully made documentary follows the path of the ancient jade road from the legal & illegal mines in northern Burma to an ordinary jade dealer’s shop in Hong Hong, giving unprecedented access to the smuggling routes and stone-age mines of Burma. Perhaps more than any other business, the jade trade has always been cloaked in mystery, similar to the opaque-brown skin that hides a jadeite’s rich green interior. We are given a glimpse of this fascinating business, where entire fortunes are gambled on a single boulder and where human lives are sometimes at stake. When the boulders are cut open in Hong Kong, the moment of truth finally arrives. If the quality is good, the men are instant millionaires. If the quality is poor, not only their dreams, but also their lives are shattered.

Poppyland (2016): The heroin trade has long fuelled Myanmar's civil war. For some, opium provides a roaring illicit income; for others, a modest farming job. But even with the war slowing down, the drug trade shows no sign of abating in Myanmar.

"If I didn't do this work, I would have no other source of income", explains a poppy farmer in a remote village. Myanmar's opium cultivation is now the second largest in the world after Afghanistan, with an abundant local trade. “Most of our village want to make the switch to farming coffee", says Panu, one of the first adopters of a UN backed coffee program.

Opium money has helped bankroll six decades of civil war in Myanmar. As the country now transitions towards a more peaceful future, its opium trade continues apace and shows little sign of slowing down.
"If I didn't do this work, I would have no other source of income and my family would go hungry", explains Nang Hkam Hrseh, a poppy farmer in a remote village in rural Myanmar. It's in places like this, far away from the prying eyes of tourists, that the vast majority of Myanmar's opium is grown, a yield which is now the second largest in the world after Afghanistan. Most of the heroin produced in Myanmar is exported through China to the rest of the world. But the local trade is also abundant, and has reached epidemic-sized proportions in some areas. "My sons were washed away on a tide of heroin", laments 68-year-old Daw Li. However, some villages are looking for ways to fight back against opium dependency. "I don't want my family to be involved in this business any more", asserts 67-year-old Panu, a resident of the isolated Pang Lyam village. Many of the villagers here have signed on to the UN’s crop replacement program and are making the switch from opium to coffee. With the end of military rule and the election of a new democratic government, there is renewed hope that the opium trade may be on the way out.

Travel video about destination Myanmar.
Myanmar is a land of golden pagodas in which rivers, paddy fields and Buddhism dominate the lives of this country’s people who are made up of a variety of ethnic groups. But behind the bamboo curtain is a sleepy fairy tale land.Yangon is a river city and the capital of Myanmar. It is surrounded by India, China, Laos and Thailand. Few cities in Asia boast such a fascinating mêlée of tribes and cultures. A tranquil harmony of churches, pagodas, Hindu temples and mosques. The Chaukhtatkyi Pagoda contains one of the largest prone Buddha statues in the world. Its length makes up for its lack of artistry as it is seventy metres long! The Shan StateExpress is a sonorous name for a uni...

Myanmar (Burma): a travel documentary

Overall, Burma has been probably one if not the most breathtaking country we ever travelled. Despite officially being one of the poorest place in the world, we found very industrious and friendly people.
Yangon: the capital is not too bad to spend 2 days (no more). The Shwedagon Paya at sunset is an inspirational place while walking around in the city center will reveal magnificent and huge colonial buildings, often abandoned. One memorable experience was to take the train to Bagan. What was supposed to be a 14h journey over 600km ... turned to be a 20h journey across magnificent landscape. The very slow speed of the train and the big open windows gave the feeling to be cycling in the Burmese country side.
Once in Bagan, the magnificence of this country came to the peak. The 2,000 temp...

11 Things To Do in Yangon, Myanmar (Are You Ready!?)

Get more details about these things to do in Yangon here: http://wp.me/psd9b-54a
1. Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်) - Probably the most important religious monument and most sacred site in Yangon and throughout Myanmar is the Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်). The golden stupa of the pagoda is covered in gold, and it’s so bright that I you have squint when you look at it. At the top of the pagoda, in the small umbrella looking top, are thousands of gems and diamonds - though it’s pretty challenging to see all the way up there. The Shwedagon Pagoda is a place you must visit when you’re in Yangon.
2. Local Market - One of my favorite things to do in any city I visit about the world is to visit a local fresh market - that’s where life takes place and where the action goes down. There...

Travel video about destination Myanmar.
Myanmar is a land of golden pagodas in which rivers, paddy fields and Buddhism dominate the lives of this country’s people who are made up of a variety of ethnic groups. But behind the bamboo curtain is a sleepy fairy tale land.Yangon is a river city and the capital of Myanmar. It is surrounded by India, China, Laos and Thailand. Few cities in Asia boast such a fascinating mêlée of tribes and cultures. A tranquil harmony of churches, pagodas, Hindu temples and mosques. The Chaukhtatkyi Pagoda contains one of the largest prone Buddha statues in the world. Its length makes up for its lack of artistry as it is seventy metres long! The Shan StateExpress is a sonorous name for a unique train that travels to the north of Myanmar and to the legendary kingdom of the Shan. The railroad travels in a zigzag up the mountains which enables it to negotiate severe slopes that would otherwise be impossible for it to climb vertically. It provides a fascinating insight into the culture and everyday life of the Shan people. The city of Pyin U Lwin, that is also known as Meymo, was once a British military base. Even today the city still has a certain air of nostalgia and passengers are offered various refreshments as the train journey normally takes more than twelve hours. Ox carts transport visitors to one of the most interesting buildings in Mingun, the Mingun Pagoda. It was designed to be the world’s largest pagoda. Huge numbers of workers built this seventy two metre wide and fifty metre high building. Bagan is the country’s ancient capital city. Prior to visiting the largest area of Buddhist ruins in the world visitors can enjoy both traditional puppet shows and dance. Classical myth and legend make up this theatrical treat of which each puppeteer is responsible for up to sixty strings. Any journey through Myanmar is a journey into the past and to a hidden world of dreams and mystique. This gateway to paradise is slowly opening up and revealing a splendid land of bygone times!

Overall, Burma has been probably one if not the most breathtaking country we ever travelled. Despite officially being one of the poorest place in the world, we found very industrious and friendly people.
Yangon: the capital is not too bad to spend 2 days (no more). The Shwedagon Paya at sunset is an inspirational place while walking around in the city center will reveal magnificent and huge colonial buildings, often abandoned. One memorable experience was to take the train to Bagan. What was supposed to be a 14h journey over 600km ... turned to be a 20h journey across magnificent landscape. The very slow speed of the train and the big open windows gave the feeling to be cycling in the Burmese country side.
Once in Bagan, the magnificence of this country came to the peak. The 2,000 temples immersed in a green landscape are amazing. Exploring them is an experience that is at the same time cultural (for the history), mystical (they are still places of worship) and athletical (you can climb on top of the roof on most of them). Buddhist temples are not only places to prey, but their courts are places to meet and spend time with the family. In Bagan, thanks to the help of a group of local women, me also manage to get a ride and navigate, for a little while, the Irrawady river, the main river of Myanmar.
The Inle Lake was our next stop after Bagan. While it’s utterly beautiful, it’s probably the most touristic place in Myanmar and that spoils a bit the atmosphere. Anyway, watching the local fishermen fishing at sunset is something breathtaking. Inle Lake is not the only attraction here. After we were done with the lake, we move exploring the hills of the surrounding area, where agriculture is the main occupation for the population. We even discovered a wine estate producing very good white and red wines.
The last part of our trip was Mrauk-U, a remote rural village at the border with Bangladesh. This was the capital of the Rakhine State and during the 1500 – 1600 AD, was one of the most important cities in Asia. We looked at a painting done in the 1600 and shows a big city with long walls, a quarter for European merchants and a number of vessels and ships trading in the port. Now, the remaining temples and walls are to be found in the wheat fields.

11 Things To Do in Yangon, Myanmar (Are You Ready!?)

Get more details about these things to do in Yangon here: http://wp.me/psd9b-54a

Get more details about these things to do in Yangon here: http://wp.me/psd9b-54a
1. Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်) - Probably the most important religious monument and most sacred site in Yangon and throughout Myanmar is the Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်). The golden stupa of the pagoda is covered in gold, and it’s so bright that I you have squint when you look at it. At the top of the pagoda, in the small umbrella looking top, are thousands of gems and diamonds - though it’s pretty challenging to see all the way up there. The Shwedagon Pagoda is a place you must visit when you’re in Yangon.
2. Local Market - One of my favorite things to do in any city I visit about the world is to visit a local fresh market - that’s where life takes place and where the action goes down. There are no shortage of fresh local markets in Yangon, and one of the best in downtown is on 26th street, across the main road from the Shri Kali Temple. The market occupies a block of downtown, and there’s an indoor section, but I really like the street side part of the market.
3. Bogyoke Aung San Market - One of the centrally located markets in downtown Yangon, located at the northern side of town, is Bogyoke Aung San Market, also known by its former name of Scott Market. If you’re looking for souvenirs, gems and jewelry, and fabric, this is a great place for you to visit when you’re in Yangon.
4. Sule Pagoda (ဆူးေလဘုရား) - Another one of the most important religious, political, and overall just city landmarks in Yangon is the Sule Pagoda - basically all roads eventually lead to the Sule Pagoda and it’s a huge transportation hub. You can pay to enter the pagoda for $3, but in my opinion there’s not that much to see inside, but it’s rather the things around the are that are more impressive.
5. Chinatown, Yangon - One of my favorite things to do in Yangon is eat, and if you love food and markets, Chinatown is a place you can’t miss. In the evening, the city of Yangon in the Chinatown area comes alive sprawling with food and people. 19th street in Yangon is a very famous as the barbecue street in the city, and there are a few restaurants where you can get a table, choose some kebabs and have them barbecue them up for you. If you love eating and drinking, dinner at 19th street is one of the fun things to do in Yangon.
6. Kandawgyi Park - There are two parts to Kandawgyi Park, the boardwalk, and the restaurants area - each has an entrance fee. It makes a great relief from the city and place to relax in the natural beauty.
7. Chaukhtatgyi Paya (Chak Htat Gyi Buddha) - This giant reclining Buddha is housed in a huge shed, and it’s among the main Buddhist religious sites in Yangon. Originally in the same location, there was a seating Buddha, but when it fell over, it was replaced by a reclining.
8. National Museum of Myanmar - If you’d like to know more about the history and culture of Myanmar (Burma), one of the attractions in Yangon that you should check out is the National Museum. It was a little outdated, but the exhibitions were educational and interesting.
9. Yangon CircularRailroad - Not really one of the traditional things to do in Yangon, Myanmar, but taking the local circular train route is a great opportunity to see some of the outskirts of the city.
10. WalkAround Yangon - Probably the best way to experience the city is to just get out on your feet and explore Yangon by food - you never know what’s going to happen or what you’re going to see or come across, but it will be full of action.
11. Myanmar Food and Street Food - There’s nothing better than traveling to eat and experiences a country through its food. Yangon is filled with both street food stalls and restaurant where you can get a sample of the local cuisine. Another part of the Myanmar culture I love is the constant tea drinking - nearly everywhere you look, you’ll find a place to sit on the side of the road and drink a cup of hot tea and socialize.
Yangon is a great city, and what I love so much about it is that it’s always full of action, people are extremely friendly, there are many different types of food and street food to try, and it’s just such a vibrant, always entertaining city. Hope you can visit Yangon!

Things to see & do in Burma (HD) - Myanmar tourism & Vacations 2015 - Myanmar travel guide
Travel Videos HD, World TravelGuidehttp://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube
Myanmar, or Burma, officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar which is derived from the Burmese Empire (1500-1000BC) is a country in Southeast Asia. It lies on the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea coast with Bangladesh and India to the west, China to the north, and Laos and Thailand to the east.
See in Burma
===========
Myanmar's attractions lie largely in the area of the spiritual. Temples, pagodas and historical sites abound with some areas such as Bagan boasting so many attractions that it would be impossible to take them in during a single visit. With landscapes, a tropical climate, beaches, cheap transportation and truly awesome sights, Myanmar is a fascinating and bewitching destination.
Bagan The main tourist destination in Myanmar and capital of the first Myanmar Empire; one of the richest archaeological sites in South-east Asia. Situated on the eastern bank of the Ayeyawaddy River, the magic of Bagan has inspired visitors to Myanmar for nearly a thousand years.
Inle is a vast lake located in the heart of Shan State which shares borders with Thai and Laos at over 900m above sea level. It is outrageously beautiful and in the mountains so it is cooler than other areas. More than 30 hill tribes live in the surrounding mountains. It is on the tourist routes via Heho Airport. Lake transport is by long-tail boat, with the jetty some 30 minutes drive from the airport. There are several lake resorts on stilt structures. Ubiquitous clumps of water hyacinth give an interesting texture to the boat ride.
Ngapali Beach - The beach stretches nearly 3 km with soft white sand fringed by coconut palms.
Mrauk U - Largely unknown to the Western world for much of its tur­bulent history, Rakhine played a pivotal role in the exchange of cultures and religions between India and Southeast Asia. For over a thousand years the region which now forms the Rakhine State was an independent state whose rich history is only slowly being paid the attention it deserves.
Kyaiktiyo (Golden Rock) - This mystical pagoda built in the enshrinement of Buddha relic stands on a gold gilded boulder, precariously perched on the edge of the hill over 1100 m above sea-level.
It is important to dress moderately, especially in temples and pagodas. Cover your shoulders and knees, as the locals do. Be patient, polite and show respect. You will be rewarded with lots of nice experiences, because the locals will react more open and more relaxed towards you and let you take part in their daily lives.
Nabule Beach. Beautiful golden sand beach 25 miles north of DaweiCity in Southern Myanmar. The beach is completely unspoiled without all the drawbacks of modern beach side development.
Do in Burma
==========
Burma has some of the best and well kept secret dive sites in South East Asia. The main advantage of diving in Burma is being alone on the dive sites. Of course this also means that there are very few boats in the area. So far there is no dive centers offering day trips to Mergui Archipelago], the 800 islands on the west coast of Burma. The best way to visit the area is to board a Liveaboard living from Ranong in Thailand.
The Smiling Seahorse, 170 Ruangrat Road, 85000 Ranong (on the main street), +668-601-106-14 (info@thesmilingseahorse.com), offers dive cruises for up to 12 divers. It is managed by a french couple and is specialized in cruising Myanmar.
Sapel TraditionalBurmeseFoot Spa, No.78, 16th Street (MiddleBlock), Ground Floor, Lanmadaw, Yangon, Myanmar (Walk along Mahabandoola Rd towards Sule Pagoda and turn left from main road), ☎ +(95)9253988995. The only place in Yangon that specializes in Traditional Burmese Foot Massage in an open hall concept. It provides a safe and comfortable environment for all travelers to indulge in a healthy and relaxing massage after a day's walk along the nearby streets of busy Chinatown. The staff are able to converse in English.

Myanmar (Burma) trip - Myanmar tourism & Vacations - Myanmar travel guide
Travel Videos HD, World TravelGuidehttp://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube
Myanmar, or Burma, officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar which is derived from the Burmese Empire (1500-1000BC) is a country in Southeast Asia. It lies on the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea coast with Bangladesh and India to the west, China to the north, and Laos and Thailand to the east.
See in Burma
===========
Myanmar's attractions lie largely in the area of the spiritual. Temples, pagodas and historical sites abound with some areas such as Bagan boasting so many attractions that it would be impossible to take them in during a single visit. With landscapes, a tropical climate, beaches, cheap transportation and truly awesome sights, Myanmar is a fascinating and bewitching destination.
Bagan The main tourist destination in Myanmar and capital of the first Myanmar Empire; one of the richest archaeological sites in South-east Asia. Situated on the eastern bank of the Ayeyawaddy River, the magic of Bagan has inspired visitors to Myanmar for nearly a thousand years.
Inle is a vast lake located in the heart of Shan State which shares borders with Thai and Laos at over 900m above sea level. It is outrageously beautiful and in the mountains so it is cooler than other areas. More than 30 hill tribes live in the surrounding mountains. It is on the tourist routes via Heho Airport. Lake transport is by long-tail boat, with the jetty some 30 minutes drive from the airport. There are several lake resorts on stilt structures. Ubiquitous clumps of water hyacinth give an interesting texture to the boat ride.
Ngapali Beach - The beach stretches nearly 3 km with soft white sand fringed by coconut palms.
Mrauk U - Largely unknown to the Western world for much of its tur­bulent history, Rakhine played a pivotal role in the exchange of cultures and religions between India and Southeast Asia. For over a thousand years the region which now forms the Rakhine State was an independent state whose rich history is only slowly being paid the attention it deserves.
Kyaiktiyo (Golden Rock) - This mystical pagoda built in the enshrinement of Buddha relic stands on a gold gilded boulder, precariously perched on the edge of the hill over 1100 m above sea-level.
It is important to dress moderately, especially in temples and pagodas. Cover your shoulders and knees, as the locals do. Be patient, polite and show respect. You will be rewarded with lots of nice experiences, because the locals will react more open and more relaxed towards you and let you take part in their daily lives.
Nabule Beach. Beautiful golden sand beach 25 miles north of DaweiCity in Southern Myanmar. The beach is completely unspoiled without all the drawbacks of modern beach side development.
Do in Burma
==========
Burma has some of the best and well kept secret dive sites in South East Asia. The main advantage of diving in Burma is being alone on the dive sites. Of course this also means that there are very few boats in the area. So far there is no dive centers offering day trips to Mergui Archipelago], the 800 islands on the west coast of Burma. The best way to visit the area is to board a Liveaboard living from Ranong in Thailand.
The Smiling Seahorse, 170 Ruangrat Road, 85000 Ranong (on the main street), +668-601-106-14 (info@thesmilingseahorse.com), offers dive cruises for up to 12 divers. It is managed by a french couple and is specialized in cruising Myanmar.
Sapel TraditionalBurmeseFoot Spa, No.78, 16th Street (MiddleBlock), Ground Floor, Lanmadaw, Yangon, Myanmar (Walk along Mahabandoola Rd towards Sule Pagoda and turn left from main road), ☎ +(95)9253988995. The only place in Yangon that specializes in Traditional Burmese Foot Massage in an open hall concept. It provides a safe and comfortable environment for all travelers to indulge in a healthy and relaxing massage after a day's walk along the nearby streets of busy Chinatown. The staff are able to converse in English.

Inside Myanmar's Soaring Heroin Trade

Poppyland (2016): The heroin trade has long fuelled Myanmar's civil war. For some, opium provides a roaring illicit income; for others, a modest farming job. But even with the war slowing down, the drug trade shows no sign of abating in Myanmar.

Reclusive and sealed off during its five decades of military rule, Myanmar is now in the throes of democratic and economic reforms, which - if analysts are to be believed - could completely transform the country.

Myanmar's Turn 🇲🇲 | 101 East

Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is undergoing its most significant political change since military rule began in 1962.
Thein Sein, the country's new president, has surprised the world with a series of democratic reforms.
He has opened Myanmar to the western world, released hundreds of political prisoners and eased media censorship.
Aung San Suu Kyi, the opposition leader, has spent the past month campaigning openly in the country's by-election and expectations among the people are the highest they have been in a lifetime.
101 East travels to the Southeast Asian country to find out the reasons behind the country's dramatic turn - witnessing the transformation through the eyes of ordinary people and asking whether the country will emerge as Asia's newest democracy.

Nat Pwe: Burma's Carnival of Spirit Soul

In Burma, many people believe in ghost spirits called NATs. They are said to possess the power to assist or devastate the lives of those who recognize them. A PWE is a ceremony held to appease a Nat.
Pwes are arranged daily throughout Burma for many purposes including the achievement of success in business, a happy marriage, or improving one's health. A Nat is summoned through a Kadaw; the flamboyant and charismatic master of the Pwe dressed in elegant costume. The Kadaw is a spirit medium, dancer, storyteller, and magician who exposes the crowd to a living incarnation of the Nat brought forth through opening ritual and careful observance of tradition.
Many of the Kadaws are male crossdressers performing the role of female Nats. Audience participants are often ecstatic, spontaneously lau...

I originally wanted to put the presentation on Slideshare -- however when I looked at the presentation 60% of the information are in the speaker's note and if you view the presentation as a slideshow alone it does not really make sense.

Opium money has helped bankroll six decades of civil war in Myanmar. As the country now transitions towards a more peaceful future, its opium trade continues apace and shows little sign of slowing down.
"If I didn't do this work, I would have no other source of income and my family would go hungry", explains Nang Hkam Hrseh, a poppy farmer in a remote village in rural Myanmar. It's in places like this, far away from the prying eyes of tourists, that the vast majority of Myanmar's opium is grown, a yield which is now the second largest in the world after Afghanistan. Most of the heroin produced in Myanmar is exported through China to the rest of the world. But the local trade is also abundant, and has reached epidemic-sized proportions in some areas. "My sons were washed away on a tide of heroin", laments 68-year-old Daw Li. However, some villages are looking for ways to fight back against opium dependency. "I don't want my family to be involved in this business any more", asserts 67-year-old Panu, a resident of the isolated Pang Lyam village. Many of the villagers here have signed on to the UN’s crop replacement program and are making the switch from opium to coffee. With the end of military rule and the election of a new democratic government, there is renewed hope that the opium trade may be on the way out.

"If I didn't do this work, I would have no other source of income", explains a poppy farmer in a remote village. Myanmar's opium cultivation is now the second largest in the world after Afghanistan, with an abundant local trade. “Most of our village want to make the switch to farming coffee", says Panu, one of the first adopters of a UN backed coffee program.

Opium money has helped bankroll six decades of civil war in Myanmar. As the country now transitions towards a more peaceful future, its opium trade continues apace and shows little sign of slowing down.
"If I didn't do this work, I would have no other source of income and my family would go hungry", explains Nang Hkam Hrseh, a poppy farmer in a remote village in rural Myanmar. It's in places like this, far away from the prying eyes of tourists, that the vast majority of Myanmar's opium is grown, a yield which is now the second largest in the world after Afghanistan. Most of the heroin produced in Myanmar is exported through China to the rest of the world. But the local trade is also abundant, and has reached epidemic-sized proportions in some areas. "My sons were washed away on a tide of heroin", laments 68-year-old Daw Li. However, some villages are looking for ways to fight back against opium dependency. "I don't want my family to be involved in this business any more", asserts 67-year-old Panu, a resident of the isolated Pang Lyam village. Many of the villagers here have signed on to the UN’s crop replacement program and are making the switch from opium to coffee. With the end of military rule and the election of a new democratic government, there is renewed hope that the opium trade may be on the way out.

Following a successful democratic political election in November 2015, Myanmar is busy preparing itself to make the political, economic, social and legal changes that will continue to ensure the sustainable development of its economy.
Foreign participation has grown to unprecedented levels as international companies compete for investment opportunities in one of the newest and most promising economies of Asia.
Introduction.
Myanmar, also popularly known as Burma, has historical roots that stretch back into antiquity. Situated in South East Asia, at an intersection between India and China, it is a largely rural, thickly forested country. Famous for its Buddhist pagodas, it has become a place of pilgrimage for worshippers and tourists alike.
On 8 November2015, Myanmar held landmark elections to replace the civilian Government formed by the Military in 2011. The National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Aung San Suu Kyi, enjoyed a landslide success winning just under 80% of the seats in the upper and lower houses of parliament. As a consequence of its large majority, the NLD will be in a position to lead political and social reforms and also dominate the process for the election of a new President.
An NLD Government demonstrates the progress that democracy has made in Myanmar since it opened its doors to the international community in 2011. The success of the national vote, which has seen the people of Myanmar choose their first democratically elected Government since the early 1960s, serves to further strengthen improving international political relations.
Future political and legal reform is expected to continue its support for the growing influx of foreign investment into the country, which has seen a huge increase from US$329.6 million in 2009/2010 to US$8.1 billion in 2014/2015.
But what really makes Myanmar such an attractive place to invest in?
With a population estimated at 53.7 million in 2014, Myanmar has significant untapped agricultural potential and a rich endowment of natural resources in the form of oil, gas, minerals and a variety of precious gemstones.
Myanmar is ideally situated to take advantage of the large export markets of India and China. It is also a member and was the chair country in 2014 of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) trading bloc. ASEAN includes some of the fastest growing economies in the World.
Agriculture.
The cornerstone of the Myanmar economy is agriculture. It contributes between 30 to 40% of the gross domestic product. Up to 70% of the 32.5 million national workforce is engaged in agricultural activity or depends upon agriculture for their income. Furthermore, agricultural products generate roughly 25 to 30% of export earnings.
Myanmar’s diverse topography, climates, water resources and ecosystems offer farmers and investors the opportunity to produce a wide range of crops, livestock, poultry and fish.
Rice is currently the most important agricultural commodity and the majority of production is centred upon the Irrawaddy river delta. Paddy rice feeds the country and also represents the main export crop. Sugar cane, cotton and pulses are other important contributors to the success of the agricultural sector. The production and processing of these commodities was until recently controlled by state owned organisations. However, in an effort to develop foreign participation and increase local production, these industries have been liberalised.
The government now has high hopes that foreign investment will increase in the agriculture sector.
Although the Government provides valuable capital for agricultural production, foreign investment is also crucial to make up for capital shortfalls and to help farmers avoid alternative capital funding that can carry extremely high interest rates.
Despite the importance of the agricultural sector to Myanmar, it has not historically attracted high levels of foreign investment. This situation is slowly changing, but the need for international investors to upgrade infrastructure and research and development is high.

ReporterSally Sara explores the military junta past and the prospective global future for Myanmar in this revealing excursion through Yangon. The country of 60 million people looks to reinvent itself in a competitive modern age.
"Girls should be loud and brave and stronger than they used to be. I think now, that's ok. It wasn't ok before", says Ah Moon, the young star of the Me N Ma Girls. Her band already have an international recording contract, now they're hoping for worldwide fame. Young entrepreneur Nay Aung gave up a job with Google to return to be a part of Myanmar's emergent business class. "I was actually leaving a very stable career in the States. But, I felt very strongly that Myanmar was opening and that it was opening for real". But the old Myanmar is never too far away. In one of Yangon's poorer districts, Dalah, KindergartenTeacherVung Deih Lun leads a young class. It costs parents $3 per term for their children's education and that money is hard to come by. "We don't want them to be poor forever, we want to direct them", she says. "The old people, we cannot change them anymore. But, when this generation come up, Dalah will definitely change".

Made in1945, BURMA VICTORY is a British documentary about the Burma Campaign during World War Two. It was directed by Roy Boulting. The introduction to the film outlines the geography and climate of Burma, and the extent of the Japanese conquests. The film then describes the establishment of the South East AsianCommand (SEAC) under Mountbatten, "a born innovator and firm believer in the unorthodox", and gives a comparatively detailed account of subsequent military events, including the Battle of Imphal-Kohima and Slim's drive on Mandalay, Arakan landings, the northern offensive of the Americans and Chinese under Stilwell, and the roles played by Chindits and Merrill's Marauders. The film ends with the capture of Rangoon and the Japanese surrender. The film focuses on the difficulties of climate, terrain, the endemic diseases of dysentery, malaria, etc., the vital role of air supplies, the shattering of the myth of Japanese invincibility and the secondary role of the Burma campaign in overall Allied strategy.
This film represents a British look at the campaign and was the pet project of AdmiralLord Louis Mountbatten, Supreme Allied Commander, South-East Asia, and he planned it as a joint Anglo-American production. But this scheme foundered over the inability of the U.S. leadership and British to agree on the main theme of the film. The British wanted it to concentrate on the drive southwards to liberate Burma. The Americans, anxious not to be seen to be participating in the restoration of the British Empire, wanted to emphasize the heroic building of the Ledo Road and the drive northwards to relieve the Chinese. In the end the two sides went their separate ways. The Americans produced the Ronald Reagan narrated film "The Stilwell Road" and the British made "Burma Victory." It was the final production of the Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU) and was directed, like Desert Victory (1943), by Roy Boulting. Not released until after the war was over, it was hailed and promoted as ‘the real Burma film’.
The Burma Campaign in the South-East Asian theatre of World War II was fought primarily between the forces of the British Empire and China, with support from the United States, against the forces of the Empire of Japan, Thailand, and the Indian National Army. British Empire forces peaked at around 1,000,000 land, naval and air forces, and were drawn primarily from British India, with British Army forces (equivalent to 8 regular infantry divisions and 6 tank regiments),[29] 100,000 East and West African colonial troops, and smaller numbers of land and air forces from several other Dominions and Colonies.[5] The Burmese Independence Army was trained by the Japanese and spearheaded the initial attacks against British Empire forces.
The campaign had a number of notable features. The geographical characteristics of the region meant that factors like weather, disease and terrain had a major effect on operations. The lack of transport infrastructure placed an emphasis on military engineering and air transport to move and supply troops, and evacuate wounded. The campaign was also politically complex, with the British, the United States and the Chinese all having different strategic priorities.
South East Asia Command (SEAC) was the body set up to be in overall charge of Allied operations in the South-East Asian Theatre during World War II. Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten served as Supreme Allied Commander of the South East Asia Command from October 1943 through the disbandment of SEAC in 1946.

The AmericanDrug Enforcement Agency says Khun Sa's army protects his drug interests, but Khun Sa says it's to continue his fight against the Burmese. He proclaimed independence for his Shan land from Burma in 1993. Ho Mong, Khun Sa's headquarters, is the size of a small city. A thousand new army recruits, all children, parade through a maze of well planned roads, houses, schools, temples and hospitals. The soldiers, often just nine years old, are press-ganged into service - many will never see their homes again. If they run away one of their family is executed. In 1977 Khun Sa promised to stop the opium trade in exchange for independence from Burma. To prove his innocence Khun Sa shows the pits in the ground where drug addicts are reformed. But the whole area, from growers to addicts, relies on the drug trade. In theTemple of the Last ChanceBuddhist monks detoxify pathetic young Thai drug addicts by administering a herb drink makes them throw up.

The AmericanDrug Enforcement Agency says Khun Sa's army protects his drug interests, but Khun Sa says it's to continue his fight against the Burmese. He proclaimed independence for his Shan land from Burma in 1993. Ho Mong, Khun Sa's headquarters, is the size of a small city. A thousand new army recruits, all children, parade through a maze of well planned roads, houses, schools, temples and hospitals. The soldiers, often just nine years old, are press-ganged into service - many will never see their homes again. If they run away one of their family is executed. In 1977 Khun Sa promised to stop the opium trade in exchange for independence from Burma. To prove his innocence Khun Sa shows the pits in the ground where drug addicts are reformed. But the whole area, from growers to addicts, relies on the drug trade. In theTemple of the Last ChanceBuddhist monks detoxify pathetic young Thai drug addicts by administering a herb drink makes them throw up.

Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is undergoing its most significant political change since military rule began in 1962.
Thein Sein, the country's new president, has surprised the world with a series of democratic reforms.
He has opened Myanmar to the western world, released hundreds of political prisoners and eased media censorship.
Aung San Suu Kyi, the opposition leader, has spent the past month campaigning openly in the country's by-election and expectations among the people are the highest they have been in a lifetime.
101 East travels to the Southeast Asian country to find out the reasons behind the country's dramatic turn - witnessing the transformation through the eyes of ordinary people and asking whether the country will emerge as Asia's newest democracy.

Burma's broken dream: This Wednesday’s classic episode takes us to Burma, or Myanmar, where Aung San Suu Kyi has been coming under fire for her reluctance to offer support to the RohingyaMuslim minority. Krishnan Guru-Murthy went to Burma earlier this year in April to find out why the promise of Aung San Suu Kyi's civillian government seems to be failing.

In Burma, many people believe in ghost spirits called NATs. They are said to possess the power to assist or devastate the lives of those who recognize them. A PWE is a ceremony held to appease a Nat.
Pwes are arranged daily throughout Burma for many purposes including the achievement of success in business, a happy marriage, or improving one's health. A Nat is summoned through a Kadaw; the flamboyant and charismatic master of the Pwe dressed in elegant costume. The Kadaw is a spirit medium, dancer, storyteller, and magician who exposes the crowd to a living incarnation of the Nat brought forth through opening ritual and careful observance of tradition.
Many of the Kadaws are male crossdressers performing the role of female Nats. Audience participants are often ecstatic, spontaneously launching into trance as the Nat spirit possesses their bodies while the melodically ornamental and thundering sound of the Nat Pwe orchestra plays on as perhaps the last, great unknown musical juggernaut existing anywhere.
Since the 11th century, there have been 37 officially recognized Nats and every August, in the village of Taungbyon, there is a festival dedicated to two of them. This festival is one of the greatest spectacles on earth. At the peak of the Taungbyon celebration, there exists a vibe of mysterious, electric charm. What results is the magnetic, unexplainable concoction of conservative tradition, free expression, music, dance, spirit possession, and anomalous synchronicities of Burma's Carnival of SpiritSoulhttp://www.sublimefrequencies.com

Doing business in Myanmar - Part 2 What you need to know as an entrepreneur from Singapore

http://consult-myanmar.com
The title for this PowerPoint presentation was based on the remit chosen by the National University of SingaporeMBAStudyGroup a month before they visited my office in Yangon on 24th September2013. As I am an alumnus of NUS the business school contacted me a month before their visit to Yangon.
I originally wanted to put the presentation on Slideshare -- however when I looked at the presentation 60% of the information are in the speaker's note and if you view the presentation as a slideshow alone it does not really make sense. As many people are now using smart phone and tablet to surf the net I decided to spend a few days to put the PowerPoint presentation as a YouTube video with proper voiceover and subtitle so you can view it from any platform without having to read the speaker's note simultaneously.
The video is divided into 2 parts:
Part 1:
http://youtu.be/pCvYiQYDHcE
1. Economic history of Myanmar -- how Myanmar ended up where they are, as one of the poorest country in Asia despite its rich natural resources.
2. A simple story of why it is more profitable to invest in Myanmar than in Singapore. Caveat: You need to have strong stomach for risk if you want to invest in an emerging market like Myanmar.
3. As an entrepreneur:
a. Is inefficiency good or bad?
b. Is the continuing US financial sanction good or bad?
Part 2
http://youtu.be/bLCMJ8Y6IhA
4. What are the opportunities by industry in Myanmar?
5. Is your organization suffering from Giganitis?
6. Why emerging markets favour entrepreneurs.
7. Low entry barrier for entrepreneur in Myanmar versus China and India
8. Understand the role of the Central and State government.
9. What is the role of the JV Partner in Myanmar.
10. The importance of training in creating the right culture in you company.
11. How to operate in a cash based society like Myanmar.
12. Should you wait for after the 2015 election before entering the Myanmar market?

Is Burma open for business? BBC World News discusses the challenges

BBC World News presenter Babita Sharma explored the challenges for business looking toward...

What are “ah-nar-dare” and “ya-bar-dare”? Find out in this incredibly funny and insightful talk where investor Thura Ko Ko shares his observations on Myanmar’s business culture as the country opens up from five decades of isolation. Thura left his home country as a boy, growing up in the UK and pursuing a global career as an investment banker. Now back to his native land, his observations as an insider-outsider are poignant and informative, drawing laughter and applause from the delighted audience.
Thura Ko Ko is the managing director of YGACapital, a Myanmar advisory company focused on identifying and investing in attractive growth opportunities in Myanmar.
Prior to returning to Myanmar in 2010, Mr. Ko worked for over 12 years in global investment banking and private equity firms covering Asia out of Hong Kong. He was a Vice President at ProvidenceEquity, and previously worked for Goldman Sachs and N.M. Rothshchild.
In Myanmar, he is a member of the board of directors for ApolloTowers Myanmar Limited, a telecom tower operator; Pacific StarFinance Limited, a micro-finance company; and Myanmar Distillery Company Limited, a leading local beverage company.
Mr. Ko holds a B.Sc. in Economics from the London School of Economics, University of London and was elected as a Young Global Leader for the World Economic Forum in2013.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Game Meat at Burma

Save for swift action from the police and the Kenya Wildlife Services officers, many meat lovers at the famous Burma market in Nairobi may have consumed giraffe meat thinking it was their regular delicacy of beef. 400 kilograms of the giraffe meat were intercepted just as they were about to be offloaded at the famous meat haunt. And as Andrew Ochieng reports, if the meat had made its way to the market, there was little chance that anybody could have discovered the difference.

How to Find a River Jade in Burma by Jade The Gambler’s Stone

Credit to : http://www.swpictures.co.uk/catalogue/jade-the-gamblers-stone/
This beautifully made documentary follows the path of the ancient jade road from the legal & illegal mines in northern Burma to an ordinary jade dealer’s shop in Hong Hong, giving unprecedented access to the smuggling routes and stone-age mines of Burma. Perhaps more than any other business, the jade trade has always been cloaked in mystery, similar to the opaque-brown skin that hides a jadeite’s rich green interior. We are given a glimpse of this fascinating business, where entire fortunes are gambled on a single boulder and where human lives are sometimes at stake. When the boulders are cut open in Hong Kong, the moment of truth finally arrives. If the quality is good, the men are instant millionaires. If the quality is poor, not only their dreams, but also their lives are shattered.
"Gold is valuable but Jade is priceless".......................Ancient Chinese Proverb
